Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Recording conditions

1. Kill Ryunosuke Uryu (Completed)

[Record condition 1 has been met. Reward received: The ability parameter "Durability" has been restored to normal value!]

【Durability D→C】

As a comfortable groan emanated from within her body, Shuoyue stretched out, feeling her body become much stronger.

"The conditions have been met, which also means..."

Looking up, the man named "Ryunosuke Amusei" had empty eyes, his fingers tightly gripping a knife, mechanically leaving scars on his own body.

He had bled to death, yet a stiff smile remained on his face.

It's like a ukiyo-e painting depicting the hell of crucifixion.

...Shuoyue silently withdrew her gaze.

Although it's a good thing that the serial killer died early, it's still a bit unpleasant to encounter something like this so soon after arriving in this world, and to have to kill one's "savior" with one's own hands... Although one won't regret it, there's still a sense of unease.

It's like wearing a freshly washed white shirt and getting splashed with mud by a passing tractor.

unlucky.

Since that's the case... the young man's gaze shifted, landing on the cliff not far away, his golden eyes gradually brightening.

Since that's the case, let's use traditional arts to wash away the dirt that's stuck to our bodies.

Bathed in the rising sun, the young man's eyes shone brightly as he began his mad dash toward the cliff.

Stepping across the cool breeze, over the lush green ground, and towards the pristine blue sky, I opened my arms wide—

“Wuhu——!”

With an excited shout, the white-haired youth leaped out and plummeted from the 4158-meter-high peak!

Behind him, a kneeling figure collapsed to the ground, the blood drying in the sunlight, like a shattered red pomegranate.

The killer who loved cheetahs is dead.

And the newborn eaglet descended from the mountaintop, facing this beautiful world, and let out its first loud cry:

"A leap of faith!!!"

Five days later, in the Zugspitze area

Amidst howling north winds, heavy snow, and record-low temperatures, a figure crossed the border between Austria and Germany and invaded this uninhabited area. In this harsh weather, which even German soldiers guarding the frontier found unbearable, a figure intruded into the no-man's-land.

This is a desolate wilderness, sparsely populated by humans, and also the boundary between the mysterious and the mundane.

The building known as "Winter City" is where the Einzbern family, one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail War and a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, is secluded and isolated from the world.

As the abnormal flow of magic dissipated, the last magical foundation was dismantled. The golden-eyed youth, Shuoyue, stood up and wiped away non-existent beads of sweat from his face.

"Phew... It's finally resolved. The Einzbern family truly lives up to its reputation as a great family with a thousand-year history. I doubt even the patriarch can remember how many defensive barriers they've set up."

Yes, after making a leap of faith on the Jungfrau in the Alps, Shuoyue followed the path of the spiritual veins and came to the vicinity of Winter City, beginning her stealthy infiltration activities.

Having seen the plot, how could he not be interested in the Einzbern family and Kiritsugu Papa, who was currently here?

You should know that this "partner of justice" is actually the original owner's adoptive father, the ruthless man who cut down the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War.

There are reasons why they didn't just go all out and storm Winter City, but instead chose to infiltrate in such a troublesome way.

As Shuoyue looked up, the dark blue panel displayed past records.

That was the reward I received after achieving Angelica's record.

[Hidden record condition 3* has been met. Reward: Replacement Magic - Modified!]

[Displacement Magic - Modified: A+]

As one of the introductory magic tricks, its principle is a lower-level basic magic trick of deterioration and exchange. Few people use it, but in the hands of a certain family that specializes in this art, the scale, precision, and application scope of the substitution magic have transcended common sense, even touching upon ethereal concepts such as space and spirit.

[Under a mysterious power, Shuoyue seems to carry a magic workshop with her, enabling her to exert extraordinary power over displacement magic, even reaching the incomprehensible realm of "concepts."]

Compared to the original substitution magic, the replacement magic modified not only has a significant improvement in strength and precision, but also transcends the level of "knowing what" and reaches the level of "knowing why" - in other words, the magic accumulation, theories and techniques of the Ainsworth family over the past thousand years have all become knowledge in Shuoyue's mind.

At this point, Shuoyue's knowledge of substitution magic was on par with Darius, the head of the Ainsworth family for a thousand years; the only problem was a lack of sufficient practical experience.

The impregnable magical barrier of Winter City provided the perfect opportunity for New Moon to practice her skills.

Concept Extraction: The Art of Death. Dragon Sauce is happily getting his lunchbox! Hooray!

Special Note: Do not attempt a leap of faith (free fall) in real life!!

The impact of falling from a height can cause severe injury to the human body. Neither haystacks (although in the game, hay blocks can reduce fall damage) nor foam mats can save you! Even if the fire department lays out a fire-fighting air cushion for you, it won't help.

In the Assassin's Creed movies, the protagonist's ancestor, Aguirre, throws his throwing knives into the water before jumping from a height to disrupt the waves and reduce the impact on himself. However, this is still extremely dangerous and should never be attempted.

Subaru Natsuki, please ignore this.

Chapter 9 The Little Princess of Einzbern

Let's start with a certain man.

That man, more idealistic than anyone else, yet despairing because of it.

That man's dream was simple.

It's just a sincere wish that everyone can be happy.

Every teenager once harbored such a dream, but when they understood the harshness of reality, they would give up and abandon this naive ideal.

Happiness comes at a price—a simple truth that all children learn as they grow up.

But that man was different.

When he realized that all life in this world rests on the scales of "sacrifice" and "redemption," and that it is absolutely impossible to eliminate either side...

He was determined to become the ruler of Libra.

In the snow-covered forest, a small passage has been eroded through the defensive barrier, enough for someone to sneak into this winter city unnoticed.

...if the infiltrators have a map.

Unfortunately, Shuoyue did not possess such a thing, so he chose a simple and direct approach—following the trajectory of the spiritual veins.

As the Einzbern family's stronghold, Winter City was naturally built on the finest spiritual veins of the Alps, a fact common knowledge among magic families.

Therefore, as long as you keep following the spiritual veins, you will eventually reach the core.

Amidst the swirling snow, Shuoyue used displacement magic to "replace" and disrupt the warning section of the defensive magic array, eliminating the mystery as if smashing building blocks, all the while secretly thinking with a sense of smug satisfaction.

Just two weeks ago, he was an ordinary person in the ordinary world, and he was very satisfied with his decision.

However, the result of his proud actions was an unexpected premature death.

"Shh..." Tiny snow boots laboriously trudged through the thick white snow, and tiny hands parted the grass. A little girl wearing a purple felt hat and a purple dress looked around and slowly walked towards the direction where Shuoyue was.

If it weren't for the heavy snowfall today, which obstructed visibility, the girl would probably have noticed Shuoyue, this uninvited guest, immediately.

Teeth are very white, extremely white.

Shuoyue stared at the little creature in the snow forest walking towards him, silently reflecting on her actions.

He did consider all the variables related to magic, but he failed to realize the possibility of being discovered.

However, there is still a chance to escape. As long as Shuoyue can get away before being discovered, she can avoid a failed infiltration.

Yes, as long as you can use speeds beyond that of ordinary people, you'll definitely be able to leave gracefully.

However, just as he was about to take action, the girl's face approached, causing him to freeze as if electrocuted.

The blood in his body seemed to flow backward, and an excited tremor ran through Shuoyue's spine. Emotions that did not belong to him trembled, forcing Shuoyue to look directly at the small figure walking towards him.

With long silver hair, ruby-like eyes, and a purple dress, she was like a snow fairy.

All these descriptions, in Sakugetsu's mind and within Emiya Shirou's body, pulled out the same name—

Illyasviel von Einzbern.

He is the child of his adoptive father Kiritsugu Emiya and his wife Irisviel, and he is also Shirou Emiya's older sister—although Sakuzuki is much older than her in both height and age.

Perhaps it was the changes brought about by the transmigrator's memories that caused this body to still convey a strong sense of "joy" even when facing relatives who did not belong to its own timeline. It was as if a person who had nothing had realized once again that he was not alone during his wandering journey.

At that moment, Ilya finally discovered Sakugetsu, this unfamiliar "big brother".

Without warning or shouting, the silver-haired, fair-skinned girl looked at the tall, white-haired young man and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

Although she was only six years old and could barely stand, Ilya still performed the ladylike curtsy by lifting her skirt, then eagerly stood up, her ruby-like eyes full of anticipation:

"Big brother, big brother, do you know what a walnut sprout is?"

Under Ilya's expectant gaze, Shuoyue couldn't bring herself to say "no," and could only squat down with a wry smile: "I know, it's a new bud growing on a walnut tree, right?"

"Yes, that's right!" After receiving an affirmative answer, Ilya smiled happily. "Hey, big brother, um, could you do me a favor?"

"Of course, go ahead and say it."

"Come with me and let's find walnut sprouts in the forest!" Ilya clenched her little fist and said with great enthusiasm, "I'm determined to beat Kiritsugu in tomorrow's match!"

So that's how it is. So you sneaked out today? No wonder no one else was with you... After a moment of silence, Shuoyue smiled and extended her hand: "It's my honor, Your Highness, the little princess of Winter City."

However, his gesture of reaching out seemed to mislead Ilya. She laughed happily, grabbed Shuoyue's arm with both hands, and climbed up Shuoyue's shoulder as if she were climbing a mountain.

Shuoyue's body swayed slightly, but quickly regained its balance.

The girl's petite and frail body was not as heavy as Shuoyue had expected. Holding her felt like scooping up a handful of fresh snow, as if she would fall if shaken even slightly. She was so delicate that it was frightening.

The young man quickly came to a conclusion: the weight was less than fifteen kilograms.

The magical knowledge inherited from Ainsworth made a ruthless judgment: this girl's body had already been modified, and she was more like a vessel for some kind of object than a human being—her development would most likely stop in the early stages of secondary sexual characteristics.

Illyasviel... She embodies the culmination of a thousand years of Einzbern family history, and also carries the sins that this family has accumulated along the way.

"Let's go, let's go, big brother!" Ilya was unaware of Sakuyue's thoughts. Familiar with the route, she quickly settled herself in place. After catching her breath a few times, she excitedly exclaimed, "Ilya must beat Kiritsugu tomorrow!"

Pulling her chaotic thoughts back, Shuoyue presented Ilya with that same gentle smile as always:

"Yes, Your Highness, my most adorable little princess, let's depart!"

"Wow, so high! Ilya's flying!"

The crisp, carefree laughter of children echoed through the snow-covered walnut grove.
